Make Your Homes Attractive.

Mothers and fathers who have sons
and daughters growing NJ. do not al

necessity OF making home not merely a
place in which their children eat. sleep.
and are clothed. but one III which they

In niue cases out OF ten where you see
"A wild youth or giddy girl, 90 to
their homes YOU will find them cheer
les, unattractiye, or perhaps actually
disagreeable.
The nature Of youth is excessively
restless; it has longing for acton and
excitement. and always the lrrcpresslble
desire to know broader life Repre,s
these natural instincts. and You will b
sure to throw them into any society
that in a measure will CRAFTY their
longings. Your sons do not 90 Ia the

for good or for evil that a mother has
over her sons, the control that she ex-
ercise- over their destinies. is grave
responsibility. Throw open your best
room to the children in the evenings
Have books and magazine or two,
even if you put away less money.
Stimulate their ambition, and invent
occupations and amusement for your

Winter Waste Of Feed.

We are in the midst of winter, and
it behooves us TO recognize the fact
that stock raising, like farming in gen.
eral. to be profitable, demands an
avoidance of waste. In no part of
farm life is there II greater liability to
extravaganza than in feeling stock.
Especially is this true in extremely
cold days, such as nearly always abound
in this northern Latitude at this season
of the year 1t is only a little proven
der that the fat COW throws from her
meal box; only few oats that drop
through the hor ses manager only few
nubbins % corn that the pigs root ont
of the trough only a lock or two OF
hay tiat the sheep trample under foot
at each feeding; hut in the course of
the long winter. these little things
amount to an enormous whole, and II
is all unnecessary waste. Stock should
be feed no more than they will eat up
clean. We prefer to feed often.
AT this season Of the year, most all
of the female portion o. the stock are
vi h young. They particularly require
Ia he feed and watcrcd regularly ; they
should have the best of food aud pnr-
est OF water. The COW in the stable.
as well as out, should have part ocular
attention \ slippery floor. narrow
stable doors. improper ventilation. n
too narrow stall and drafts of cold air
should all tie guarded against. A 70

More Wool And More Mutton

Farmers and others should wear more
wool and cat more mutton. In eli
mate like ours wooden Undertaking is
best at all seasons of the year. 1t pro-
tects the system against suddenchanges
ard chills after perspiring freely. All
who have any tendencies toward rheu-
matism, lung affections or neuralgia,
should wear wooden underwear through
out the year. Mutton is a wholesome
food and should be more generally used
instead of so much pork aud beef. By
wearing more wooden clothes and eat,
ing more mutton our PEOPLE would be
improved in health, and the sheep in
dustry would be promoted.

A Good Feeding Ration for Cow.

A good ration for a COW giving milk
may be composed of four pounds of cot
ton seed meal, four pounds of corn
meal and twenty pounds o. hay COM
posed of equal parts of clover and
herdsgrass. If herdsgrass alone were
used it might be advisable to increase
the quantity of cotton seed meal one
pound. Too much hay should not be
ted to cows which are receiving a rich
ration of grain. A sufficient quantity
Of hay to afford comfortable distension
of the stomach is sufficient and will
leave more digestive power to act upon
the grain.

Save the Bones for Fertilizers.

Save all the bones. They are val
liable for fertilizers in any form. Even
when placed whole in the soil the roots
of plants will be sure to find them. and
form such knot-work of roots about
them that much nourishment will be
drawn from them. If broken in small
pieces they will afford more food to
plants, and if finely ground or dissolved
in moistened wood ashes or sulphuric
acid, are rendered still more available
for the use of plants.

A Mixed Stock Better For Grazing.

Better results are obtained by graz
ing land with a mixed stock Of cattle,
sheep and horses than by any one kind
alone. Sheep eat many kinds ofplants
which cattle and horses refuse to eat,
aud horses and sheep eat some kinds
that cattle do not. Cattle grazed alone
in pastures leave many good places
which horses would Craze. II cattle,
horses and sheep were grazed IN the
same pasture, the grass will be allowed
to grow unmolested. Mixed stock gra-
zed together render the feed better
than when grazed alone.

When he was about TO leave the house his
wife followed him and throwing her arms
about his neck kissed him several times
tie thought her conduct strange, but did not
suppose that her reason was dethroned
AT o'clock, Mrs. Evans, who had evil
IDENTIFY been laboring under great excite

taxing him BY the wrist struck Kim on the
back of tho hoad with an nx, crushing in
tho chiid's skull. Sbo then struck him sew
eral times on the face and nearly chopped
his head TO pieces. His Oldest brother hear
ing the child's cries ran down stairs and the
mother said;
Il have killed Raynor, come, lot NO kill
you, and then will kill myself
The boy ran away. A daughter of the
aemented woman, who was next door, Ind
been in the meantime attracted by tho cries
OF the dying child, and rushing in struggled
with the desperate mother for possession OF
the Ak, i'll which sho finally succeeded
Tho tragedy produced great Excitement.
hundreds Of tho neighbors gathered at the
scene, aud several women tainted at tho
grim spectacle of the maniac mother nnd
her murdered boy. The husband was called
home from his work in the mine and his
grief was pitiful TO soc. Mrs. Evans was
taken to an asylum for the insane this after
noon. Coroner Burnett held an inquest on
the body OF the murdered child
